Compassionate Bastardism 

It is a social and political philosophy which encourages people to face up to their own rather nasty human nature and describes policies to protect society.

Compassionate Bastardism is about accepting that we are all bastards and harnessing the greed that drives the majority, but at the same time ensuring that everyone is provided with the means to survive.
Compassionate Bastardism holds that if you want a fair society you have to be a bastard about being compassionate so that your compassion can go to the people that really need it and it cannot be taken advantage of by the bastards.

bastardise 

To make a bastard doesn't necessarily have to refer to people. Giving a legitimate word a new meaning could be bastardising the word. Basically, it's butchering the English language. See orphaned. If you have an idea, and someone takes the idea, changes it around and gives it new meaning, that's bastardising. If you design a newsletter, for instance, and someone else takes over and keeps part of your design but applies elements that don't match up with yours, that's bastardising. You get the drift.
Henry, how do you like the newsletter now that Sue's been doing it for a year?

I'd like it better if she hadn't bastardised my design.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
